Kokonoe

When Mo Xuan left the temple, he saw Mo Yi waiting in a carriage.

In the car, Mu Ya and the others had already made preparations.

"What are you doing?" Mo Xuan asked.

Mu Ya didn't have time to explain, and dragged Mo Xuan into the carriage: "Talk while walking."

Seeing that the temple was left far behind, Mu Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you came out intact, thank you Qian Mian."

"You're the one who looked for him?" Mo Xuan felt uneasy when he thought of Qian Mian still staying there, and what Mu Ya said made him feel a little more self-blame.

Mu Ya waved his hand: "He came to the door, probably because he heard the rumors."

Yan Shuo said: "I found the person who spread the news, and," he looked at Mu Ya helplessly and continued: "You should know him."

"I know?" Mu Ya blinked, puzzled, "Who?"

"Wooden Shadow."

"Who is that?" Mo Xuan asked, but the surname is Mu. . .

"Huh? It's him?!" Mu Ya jumped angrily: "Okay, it's true that the whole family doesn't want to enter the house! What's wrong with their family, there are endless methods of stabbing in the back!"

"Yes..." Mo Xuan asked curiously.

Mu Ya said with a headache: "Brother Mu Tu."

"Ah..." Mo Xuan pouted, but how did he know?Could it have been overheard again?Moreover, Qian Mian seems to think that it was the secret leaked by the Right Protector, which gives him a headache. . .

"Actually, I'm also to blame for this, I should have been on guard earlier." Mu Ya looked at Mo Xuan, feeling extremely sorry.

Mo Xuan smiled: "What are you talking about? How could you know this would happen? Besides, I concealed it first. But why did that wooden shadow target me?"

While fanning Zuo Sichen, Yan Shuo explained: "Mu Ying and Chu Di are people all the way. If they want to gain status in the temple, they have to squeeze out the opponents around them. It just so happened that a Mu Qi appeared at this time and affected Chu Di. It was they who found out about Mu Qi and you because they knew that Mu Qi was on good terms with you."

"This is their usual method. They find faults and find troubles. They can't wait to poach the eighteenth generation of their ancestors to have some fun. It's just that your fun can be put to good use." Zuo Sichen also said.

Mo Xuan didn't have much experience of these intrigues, but he also realized one thing: "Did Mu Qi win against Chu Di?"

Speaking of this, Mu Ya couldn't help being overjoyed: "It's completely suppressed! At the beginning, I didn't realize that the kid is so talented in alchemy, and he is also a herdsman from Dongyu. Zi, it's a pity that I didn't do a few more tricks."

Mo Xuan shook his head, thinking that Mu Qi hated you to death.

"Then, is Mu Qi okay now? Will the temple find him? Will it be dangerous?" Mo Xuan worried.

"You don't have to worry about this," Yan Shuo said, "The Mu family is still standing, but there is a reason."

That's right, Yan Shuo is from Dongyu, so he should know the situation of Mu Qi's family.

"Then you also know what happened to the Mu family?" Mo Xuan rarely gossiped.

Yan Shuo spent a long time talking and only said: "It's very complicated."

How complicated is it?This is an unclear question.

At least Mo Xuan knew that Mu Qi would not be affected by him, and what's more, the ideas of Meng Ziqiu and Chu Di also came to nothing.

However, Mo Xuan's portraits hung all over Bei Ming in a short time.

Charge - son of a rebel.

The wheels rolled, the carriage stumbled and drove away, and then moved forward to the adjacent sea area.

Mo Xuan: "Where are we going?"

Yan Shuo: "Travel towards Tiger Mountain."

Zuo Sichen: "What do you mean?"

Mu Ya: "Do you still remember what we have in our hands?"

Wu Xiao: "The key."

Mo Xuan suddenly realized that the red spar that Yan Shuo had been holding in his hand was the key to the mermaid realm.

"Really?" Mo Xuan asked uncertainly.

What is the purpose of the keys that the temple took painstakingly to deliver to several people?What secrets are hidden in the underwater world?

"The decision is in our hands, and I have a hunch that this is a big deal." Yan Shuo spoke with a characteristic businessman's tone, as if he was sure of winning.

The wheels of the wagon stopped on the shore.

There is a boundless sea and gray reefs at your feet.

Mo Xuan thought, that's all, it's time to try, anyway, there will be pursuers and there will be no way out, so let's go.

"Kun!"

The huge body covered the sky and the sun, and the spread wings set off huge waves.

Destination, gap in space, white tower on an isolated island.

When I came back again, my mood was different.

The last time I was forced to get involved, this time it felt like an adventure.The five of them boarded the island and walked up the winding path. When passing the cave where they stayed last time, Mo Xuan paid special attention to the inside, but it was still empty, only a pile of dead grass.

And further upwards, the originally eye-catching White Tower slowly reveals its original appearance.

It can be seen that the stone tower has been standing for a long time, and some parts of the wall have fallen off. It does not occupy a large area, but the surrounding weeds are overgrown, almost reaching waist.The stone gate that should have been closed was knocked down halfway, and it was obvious that someone had been there before.

There are no other signs around it, it just looks like an ordinary and down-and-out tower.

Mo Xuan walked in front and entered through the stone gate with a sideways body. It was sunny and warm outside, but inside there was a kind of coldness immersed in sea water all year round. The walls inside were covered with moss, and there were large and small puddles on the ground. After entering a little bit, the whole person's vision became dark. It turned out that the only door was too low and only half-opened, so the light could not enter the inside, and it was even more gloomy.

Mu Ya followed behind, and couldn't help but gasp a few times in disgust.

"Teng—" Wu Xiao called out a flame and lit the rusty candlestick on the wall.

And the appearance of the tower was completely exposed to the eyes of several people.

"This is..." Mu Ya whispered.

Yan Shuo snorted coldly and said, "So that's how it is!"

No wonder the people in the temple would send the key regardless of the return, because there is something else to do besides the key.

The stone platform in the center is the location of the spar hole, and there are four grooves under the stone platform, connecting to four directions respectively, and there are four statues in the four corners, namely: Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku , Xuanwu.

These four statues are so lifelike that they are like petrified mythical beasts themselves.

The only defect of the statue is the eyes, which are all hollowed out, and there is a horror of being dug out.

"It seems that we are still being used." Zuo Sichen kicked the rock next to his feet in dissatisfaction and said angrily.

Yan Shuo also held his breath and stood at the door without moving.

On the other hand, Muya circled the Suzaku statue for a few times and then suddenly stopped at my spot: "No, that's not right..."

Mo Xuan felt strange and asked, "Mu Ya, what's wrong? What did you find?"

With a stiff neck, Mu Ya turned his head and said to the others: "This is not a statue."

"What do you mean...don't play tricks, let me tell you!" Zuo Sichen swallowed and hid behind Yan Shuo secretly.

While protecting Zuo Sichen, Yan Shuo rushed to Muya and said, "Say it straight."

Mu Ya pointed at a place near the statue's wings with trembling fingers: "Here, there is a mark."

Mo Xuan took a closer look and saw a symbol: "What is this? Water?"

Mu Ya shook his head: "It's Mu." He seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, and took several deep breaths before he calmed down: "Suzaku will forget the past memories every time she is reborn, but the Patriarch of the Mu family in the last life has experienced Suzaku. The second generation of Suzaku was born, and the second Suzaku was reborn with memories, so the head of the original family was so happy that he personally printed the wooden characters of the Mu family on Suzaku. A proud story of a generation.”

After Mu Ya finished speaking, there was a long silence.

Mo Xuan and the other three were also silent.

If that imprint is exclusive to the previous generation of Suzaku, then this statue. . .

Yan Shuo suddenly said: "After the war, the four heads of the family died at the same time, but the contract was terminated at the last time, but after that, the four great beasts disappeared inexplicably, until we got the news of the rebirth of the beasts."

"Then their news, could it be?" Mo Xuan looked at the stone statues in four directions, his empty pupils seemed to be telling a story of crying to despair until blood flowed down.

"But why did they do this? They chose this... a tragic ending." Mo Xuan didn't know who to ask, but he got the answer himself.

"Merman Domain!! What are they hiding here?!" Mo Xuan suddenly became excited, as if they were approaching a huge treasure, or a huge surprise.

The four Muya had the same idea, so the four nodded to each other and walked to their own directions.

In a ceremony like a contract, the blood belonging to the four families slowly dripped on the top of the stone statue.

The blood beads slide down the stone statue, slowly flow through the groove and flow into the spar hole on the central stone platform.

Yan Shuo aimed the red spar in his hand at the crystal hole, and it fit perfectly.

At the same moment, the four statues slowly turned in one direction, and the originally empty eyes suddenly emitted a red light, the stone tower under their feet suddenly shook, the rocks rolled, and the shallow puddles became bigger and bigger.

"No, I'm falling!" Yan Shuo sensed the danger first, grabbed Zuo Sichen with one hand and Mu Ya's belt with the other, and quickly backed away.

But Wu Xiao and Mo Xuan were not affected because they were close to the wall.

This shock lasted for half an hour, until the central area was completely empty, and an unfathomably downward tunnel appeared in sight.

Zuo Sichen wanted to step forward to check, but Yan Shuo felt lingering fear, and grabbed his arm to signal him not to act rashly.

Xiao Yi, who had been asleep for an unknown amount of time, slowly poked his head out at this moment.

Mo Xuan noticed Xiao Yi, and suddenly said pleasantly: "Why do you think you've grown up?"

Yan Shuo lowered his head and shook his wrist, Xiao Yi was dizzy for a while, and silently pressed against Yan Shuo's skin, staring at his small eyes and complaining aggrievedly.

"This little guy eats better than me! Mo Xuan, take him back quickly." Zuo Sichen snorted.

Yan Shuo laughed: "Compared to a little snake, it's really good."

Mo Xuan was a little embarrassed, too, what's the point of always putting Xiao Yi with Yan Shuo?

"Xiaoyi?" Mo Xuan stepped forward and nodded his head: "Do you want to go back with me?"

Xiao Yi's small eyes were shining brightly, his small head rubbed forward against Mo Xuan's fingers, and then suddenly retracted Yan Shuo's cuff.

"..." Abandoned?Mo Xuan blinked in disbelief.

Yan Shuo is used to it: "This little guy is very clinging to me now, let's put it here, and there is no shortage of food for this little thing."

Zuo Sichen puffed out his cheeks and muttered.

Mo Xuan withdrew his hand, feeling even more guilty.

Think of the little gluttons in the space who are always short of food and can't get enough to feed, really. . .Comparing people to people makes people mad.

The relaxed atmosphere only lasts here, as unexpected guests are never absent.

"It's really hard work for you guys."

Mo Xuan and the others shuddered behind their backs, and looked back one after another.

Temple people!

Muhui, Qingfeng, and Yue are all among them.

Alone did not see thousands of faces.

Mo Xuan knew that they would not let him off easily, but he didn't know they followed up so quickly.

You know, this is under the nose of Beiming, the temple.

What's more, they were looking forward to these people coming to this place.

The entrance is right behind Mo Xuan, but it's hard to deal with people who come.

Mu Ya is about to eat people: "Mu Hui, is there really something about you here?"

Mu Hui bowed lightly and said, "Young Master Mu, if you also work for the temple, naturally you need a little trick."

What about the necessary humiliation and compromise, he needs to let his son stand firmer and walk higher, Mu Hui thinks he is doing the right thing.

From this point of view, the disagreement that the four of them had pretended for so long had already been seen through.

It's no wonder they handed over the key so reassuringly, and they are not afraid that the four of them will fight for it, and even lose their lives and money.

But Mo Xuan was only thinking about Qian Mian: "Guardian Right, is Qian Mian okay?"

Yue didn't answer: "Young Master Mo, why don't you go and see for yourself in the temple next time."

This man is not cute!

Zuo Sichen pulled the clothes of several people behind his back, motioning to jump back and forget it.

And Mo Xuan had this intention, it was better than being caught back, especially when he had to face someone like Qian Xiao, it was horrifying to think about it.

And the people in the temple had been on guard for a long time, and they had already started their hands in seconds.

What to do?Can't you dance with them?Then, hit it!

For a moment, there was a chaos of water and fire, and stones and dust flew up.

Mo Xuan tried to get away while fighting the opponent, obviously the entrance was at his feet!Damn it!

If you are caught, you will benefit from it, but if you jump down together, you will inevitably be beaten. Besides, you don't know what's underneath, so you can't take risks.

And at this time, something that neither side expected happened.

The gentle, courteous Qingfeng who had been smiling all the time, who didn't even make a move from the beginning to the end, suddenly made a move when the five people were about to be besieged.

"boom--"

The sound of explosions rang in my ears.

There was a sudden void under him, followed by Qingfeng's smiling face and Mu Ya and Zuo Sichen's unstoppable screams.

Then, there is an endless fall.

In front of him, there was darkness.
